Hi board members, I have a question that I could use some help with. I am form the city of Dallas and would like to sell a fully auto UZI. Are there any special requirements that I would have to go through in order to sell this weapon?

Call me skeptical, but IMHO if you went through the necessary hoops to own a full auto weapon legally, you would have a pretty good idea what needs to be done.
Call the BATFE, they will be able to give you the No kidding answer to any of your questions.

it was given to me about 6 months ago, from a family friend that has had it since the 90's, form what he told me. i really do not know if it is transferable. it came with a box and no paper work, again this weapon was given to me.

Do you know what full auto is or are you confusing semi auto with full auto? If it came in a box it is probably a semiauto. Look on the reciever to see what markings are on it. It could be Chinese, Israeli, or US made. It could be a pistol, a rifle, or a short barrel rifle.

If it's a semiauto rifle or pistol the sale would be pretty straightforward with no paperwork. If it is a semiauto short barrel rifle, the sale is a little more complicated if you have the transfer paperwork and are in touch with the family friend.

If it IS full auto, you are looking at prison time for possesing it and the only options are to turn it in to the ATF or stripping it, cutting up the reciever and getting rid of the reciever, then selling the parts as a kit

chack thanks! that is the info i need. the font seems to be Israeli, it has a small switch on the handle. i have not shot the weapon so i really do not know what this switch dose. is there any possibility that this could be a replica ?

i really do not know anything about this weapon i opened it to see if the trigger was shaved down or to see if it has been tampered with, but nothing. it shoots a 45 apc. i am going to a ranch today to shoot it. if it is a fully auto ill turn it over and explain what happened. the last thing i want to do is break the law.

Well i don't think you understand. No body can give you a fully auto weapon without the required forms. You are not allowed to take possion untill such forms are filled out and approved. The fact that you have the weapon is a felony. It appears that your so called friend does not have the required forms either. So now both of you are subject to 10 years in the slammer no questions ask.

There is no way you are going to walk into any law agency and just hand it to them and walk out.

Options are.

Give it back to your so called friend.

Dig a hole and bury it with two bags of concrete on top and tell everyone there is a rabid skunk under there.

Find the Dallas chapter of the Sons Of Anarchy and see if they will take it.

I,m betting this thing is stolen Special Forces Property

Now if you happen to be a member of one of the cartels operating out of Texas then you probably really don't care what the laws are.

ok guys just shot it. i am even more confused now!! it says it takes a 45 apc. i tried to insert that type of ammo and it did not take. the clip takes 25 rounds of 9mm so i used that. it is not full auto its semi auto although The selector switch has three setting safe, semi and full, i tried all but it kept shooting in semi. when i pull the cocking knob to the back the bolt closes even when i set the switch to full auto.
